RE: Adding ability to add any platform on any OS
Could we postpone the check-reqs script to prepare instead on when adding it? This way, all platforms can at least be added on all OSes.

Re: Adding ability to add any platform on any OS
I don't see a ton of value in this, but I do see a lot of risk. Platform scripts + hooks are called for any changes to plugins (add/rm) so you are going to have multiple points of failure. Who does this feature help? @purplecabbage risingj.com On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 1:09 PM, Edna Y Morales eymor...@us.ibm.com wrote: Hi all, I'm working on allowing the CLI to add any platform regardless of whether the OS supports it. Basically you would add the platform, get a warning stating that you won't be able to build for that platform, and then just throw an error when an attempt to build is made. While looking into this, I've noticed that there are checks in multiple places that are preventing this. The first one is the check in cordova-lib that verifies the OS supports the platform. I am changing that to give a warning to the user instead of throwing an error. Then the check_reqs script for individual platforms is called both in the create script and the build script. I'm wondering if the check is required in the create script, when it's just going to get called again in the build script. My plan is to remove the check from the create script if there is nothing in there that requires a platform specific environment. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Edna Morales
Re: Adding ability to add any platform on any OS
Well the idea is that you should be able to add a platform to your project even if you can't build it. So that you can have multiple developers on different OS's working on the same project using SCM. That way, for example, you can add the Windows platform on OSX and just have another developer on a Windows machine build it.

While looking into this, I've noticed that there are checks in multiple places that are preventing this. The first one is the check in cordova-lib that verifies the OS supports the platform. I am changing that to give a warning to the user instead of throwing an error. Then the check_reqs script for individual platforms is called both in the create script and the build script. I'm wondering if the check is required in the create script, when it's just going to get called again in the build script. My plan is to remove the check from the create script if there is nothing in there that requires a platform specific environment. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Edna Morales
Re: Adding ability to add any platform on any OS
Cross platform developers with remote build systems. I'm currently doing work on a mac, but I spent a bit of my time w/ a Windows machine, and a bit w/ a Linux machine. I often have shared file systems (smb:, or .git, or whatever). It's moderately annoying that I have to be on my mac in order to do some manipulation, and on an ubuntu box to do some manipulation, and on a windows box to do some manipulation. Ok, I take that back, if I had to do that, I'd be pissed. On 10/17/14, 4:30 PM, Jesse purplecabb...@gmail.com wrote: I don't see a ton of value in this, but I do see a lot of risk.

Re: Adding ability to add any platform on any OS
Well, if platforms are a build artifact, then they would not be in version control anyway. In my opinion, the feature is not worth the risk of the changes it requires. @purplecabbage risingj.com On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 1:45 PM, Josh Soref jso...@blackberry.com wrote: Cross platform developers with remote build systems.

cordova serve could still benefit from it... Although I haven't looked into it too much. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cordova.apache.org
